Dear Pastors, Friends and Family,

At the end of our furlough, I enjoyed not having to wear a mask much in the U.S., but they are stricter here. Though the precaution level was green when we arrived, masks were still required.

I want to begin by thanking you for your prayers & support, which make possible the spread of the gospel to Mexico City. I never want to get used to being a Christian, nor accustomed to being saved.

As our furlough has come to an end, we want to thank the pastors & churches who have allowed us to present our ministy and give an update. We also appreciate the hospitality, fellowship & generosity we received in our travels.

We also were able to see our sons, Stephen, and Joseph & his family a few times on furlough. Joanna & Joseph are expecting their third child (a girl) in August, and that will be our fifth grandchild.

We just returned from Mexico City a few days ago as we went there to find a new apartment in a new area to plant a new church. We return there in about 1 ½ weeks … Read More »
